did any of you guys have this problem from the body shop?
or did they get the wrong color code?

thanks
That color is a special order 40th paint from Nissan. They could try to match it but honestly it's not going to look the same. The paint order thru nissan is not cheap but you'll have no choice if you want it to match like factory paint.

someone can clarify if I have my facts incorrect
